Buying guide
Not sure which ticket to choose?
For most visitors, the standard rooftop ticket is the best way to access the 360-degree views independently. If you prefer historical context, choose a guided walking tour, but ensure you check for early closures in May 2026 due to official ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Good to know before your visit
Entrance
Reach the monument via the underground passageway rather than crossing Place Charles de Gaulle on foot. Visitors using wheelchairs should use the Grande Armée-side drop-off access; official accessibility information says lifts provide access between the forecourt, museum hall, and panoramic terrace. Timed or priority tickets do not remove access controls, so follow staff instructions and check your voucher for arrival details.
Price
The official adult benchmark for May 2026 is €16. Entry is free for visitors under 18 and EU/EEA residents under 26 with valid identification. Partner prices (typically €17–€19 for standard entry) may vary from official rates due to booking fees, real-time availability, or the inclusion of extras like guided walking tours and Seine cruises.
Discounts
Free admission includes visitors under 18, people aged 18–25 who are EU nationals or non-European legal residents in France, and visitors with disabilities plus one accompanying person. Bring valid proof of eligibility. Individual visitors with disabilities do not need to book in advance: present proof at the ticket office to request priority and free admission. Check the official eligibility list for other exemptions and booking requirements.
Timing
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or can I use my phone?
Digital tickets on your smartphone are fully accepted. Ensure your screen brightness is up and the barcode is ready for scanning. Most visitors are now required to book a specific timed-entry slot online in advance, even for free tickets.
Does a "skip-the-line" ticket bypass the security check?
No, every visitor must pass through the mandatory security screening at the base of the monument. These tickets only allow you to bypass the physical ticket office queue, which is often the longest wait.
How do I safely reach the entrance of the monument?
Never attempt to cross the Place de l'Étoile traffic circle on foot. Use the "Passage du Souvenir" underground tunnel located at the top of the Champs-Élysées or Avenue de la Grande Armée to reach the monument base safely.
Can I get a refund if my plans change?
Official tickets are typically non-refundable. If you require flexibility, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often provides a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund; always check the specific terms on the checkout page.
Are there lockers for my luggage or large backpacks?
No, there are no luggage storage facilities or lockers. Bags exceeding 40x40x20cm are strictly prohibited and will be turned away. Strollers are allowed but must be foldable to be left at the dedicated area if you climb the stairs.
Is there an elevator to the rooftop terrace?
The primary route involves 284 steps. An elevator is available for visitors with disabilities or limited mobility; it reaches the museum level (the attic), but there are still approximately 40 additional steps to reach the very top rooftop terrace.
How do free-entry visitors (like children) get their tickets?
Visitors under 18 and EU residents under 26 enter for free but must reserve a €0 timed-entry slot online in advance. You must present a valid ID (passport or national ID card) at the entrance to verify eligibility.
What happens if I arrive late for my time slot?
The monument usually allows a short grace period, but entry is not guaranteed if you arrive late. During peak May 2026 periods, it is highly recommended to arrive at the tunnel entrance 15-20 minutes before your slot to account for security.
